The novel arrangement of my invention will be apparent byreference .to the following description in connection with the ac companying drawings. in which; I

Fig. 1 is a side elevatlonal'vlew of a Fig.2 is a perspective view pipe and the hanger or bracket; I

Fig. 3 is adetail perspective view of the soil pipe and bracket in spaced relation.

Referring now to the drawings by nuwhich extends a vent pipe 5. The vertical face of the L is provided withanenlarged Y Y flange 6 surrounding the internalthreads 7 to receive a nipple 8, connecting the dis charge end f the bowl 10? The. flange 6 is shown as provided with a plurality of [P ATE-NT f i bolts 12, -.which may pass through the elonj- S I gated" slots 13 in the bracket "plate, 14. The
